Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:1. I am one and on my own, I am one to serve the Lord.
As I join hands with others called, I know that we are more
We look to you O Mother dear, Your life has show us how
To live with grace, in faith and strength in service of the of the Lord.
Chorus:
Lady of Good Counsel
We've been called as you were called
to be a living example of a life that serves the Lord!
Lady of Good Counsel,
Guide us with your love.
Let us follow your shining example,
And surrender to the Lord.
2. Just as your arms cradled your Son, let our arms comfort the lost.
Just as your hands wiped his tears and his blood, let our touch be filled with love.
Just as your voice sang praise to God, let praise be the song we sing.
In all that we say and all that we do, His love is what we bring.
3. Mother pray for us.
Mother strengthen us.
Mother intercede for us.
Lead us to your son, through your love.
